Hello Fellow Travelers!

As I travel, you can always find me at the cheese case…retailers large and small, specialty stores, and international markets. Sure, I am searching for cheeses that I am not familiar with, but I am looking for the opportunity to hear from the cheesemongers (or just the person that stocks the case) and learn their favorites, what customers are looking for, local items, and upcoming trends. Most of the time, I find cheeses that I readily recognize, but not on this last visit to upstate New York. I spotted a cheese that visually stopped me in my tracks – Pinna Brigante with Saffron.
